The photo was taken about an hour ago, but the date on the story is yesterday? Anyway, we had enough people to make an impression. Too many members crossing the line, tho

very disappointed to hear of at least one urbanite crossing a picket line.

There seems to be quite a lot of this in multi-union workplaces - people don't seem to realise that picket lines can be virtual as well as physical

Exactly. This is why we don't use the tube when the scab management are driving trains during industrial action. For example.

Not surprised to hear on radio and see on TV news the amount of 'outraged' citizens texting, emailing and phoning in to state the ridiculous argument regarding number of votes cast in favour of strike action.
Calling it undemocratic whilst supporting a coalition that as nowhere near 50% of the national vote.
Then you get government ministers and Cameron calling the action illegitimate, whilst getting paid a salary for a position that saw them all secure less than 50% of their constituency.
Bah!

it's ridiculous to expect people to regard as legitimate a government which receives less than 50% of the vote, then goes on to pass laws based on that so-called mandate for five sorry years without once more consulting the electorate.
I also suspect that like the tactics in the 80's of convincing workers of the right to buy as a tool for preventing strike action, they are taking advantage of the criminal pay day loan companies stranglehold on low waged workers to force working people to abstain from striking and having to work to keep these bank backed wolves from the door.
The funniest is when in one breath the govt are outraged by the action 'holding the country to ransom' and talking of ways to legislate against it and in the next breath state the strike isn't solid.
Come on chaps, you can't have it both ways.
"if you don't like it, do another job"

Okay Mr Cameron, let's have a look at our close European neighbours the French.
In France, Trade Unions represent only 8% of workers yet they as a nation have far more disruptive strikes than we do.
Nobody votes on strike action there, the workers decide and plan any actions.
Tell me Mr Cameron, would you be blaming union leaders for these actions, or would you as maybe an alleged elected leader look inwards and see that it is your policies that force people into these situations, where workers are sacrificing badly needed income to try and raise awareness at how desperate things are in the world created by you and your capitalist paymasters?

People looking at me gone out when I said I wouldn't cross a picket at the library to run one of our groups. And this is in a public sector workplace. There's a lot of talking to do, and at least I've started a conversation about why I wouldn't do that. (Of course we're in today because health sections are useless).
